<p>The installation and workmanship were all exemplar and follow-up by company on some minor issues with the Velux rollerblind was also exemplar. This company and the staff know what service and professional is about and practice it! <br /> <br /></p> <br />

We were very satisfied with their work;however, they promised that they would send us some pictures of old skylight/new skylight. We are still waiting for them. <br />

Everything went very well, from the estimate to the complete installation. Randy was very easy to work with, and was very efficient. He needed to replace some of the wood, once he removed the old skylight, and the work was done promptly and perfectly. He did not try to push products or services that were not required and cleaned up the work area completely. I will definitely be calling Reinforced Skylights when skylight #2 needs replacing as well. This time I won't waste so much time waiting on other companies to return my calls. My only regret is I didn't know they could have worked on the dry wall replacement as well. Thank you for a job well done! <br />

Purchased a deal on Angie's list. Contact Reinforced Skylights the next evening and left a message. My call was promptly returned the next day and arrangements were made to come see where the work was to be done. They showed up on time (and even called a half-hour ahead to let me know they were on the way). We arranged a date for the actual install. A couple of days before the scheduled date, they called to say that because the weather report was calling for storms they would have to reschedule. As they were going to be cutting holes in my roof, I was happy to reschedule! We arranged for a date the following week. The workers showed up on time and were careful to lay out drop cloths to protect my floors and minimize clean up. The work was done efficiently. The workers double-checked with me after marking the ceiling to make sure the placement of the sun tunnels was exactly right. When they finished, they cleaned up everything so well you would never have known they were there. The sun tunnels look great and provide a lot of light in my bathrooms. My biggest concern was potential leaks in the roof, but the sun tunnels came through recent heavy thunderstorms without any problems. Highly recommend this company. <br />

There was a lot of schedule coordination that needed to planned due to the construction in the bathroom and all the different contractors working. Reinforced Skylights worked with our schedule and came to install the skylight in a couple of hours. The price was higher than a normal tubular skylight installation due to our very high roof. Overall,I had an amazing experience with this company and would highly recommend them. <br />

This was a Holmes on Homes like experience! Trevor was able to come out for an estimate within 2-3 days. He looked over everything and explained to me what a contractor I hired before did wrong. I did not go through Angie's list for my first contractor. Trevor was polite about his assessment of the previous contractor's work, but trust me, he really didn't have to be. The other guy charged me $420 to caulk and screw some roofing tin around the edges and was there for maybe 45 mins. Trevor explained he would take good care of me, and his price was MORE than fair for the work he and his co-worker did. He scheduled a start work date about a week from the estimate date. He and his crew were at my house on time. They laid down a contractor's mat just incase some debris fell into my home, and they moved some of my furniture out of the way before starting. They removed the existing skylight and all of the damaged shingles surrounding the skylight. The job was done neatly and orderly. They cut the wood needed to resize my frame, installed the new shingles, and finally installed the new skylight. While the man was working on my roof, he was singing :) I thought it was a good sign. He obviously likes what he does, and he did it to the best of his ability. I sing when I'm happy! When they finished, it was perfect. There was no sign that anything had ever been damaged. All of the debris was gone, the trash had been picked up, my furniture was moved back to its original position, and I couldn't be more satisfied. These men were pleasant, hardworking, and fair. It has rained and snowed quite a few times since the new skylight and the skylight has not leaked at all. I'd recommend this company to anyone or company that wants skylights! Incredible experience. <br />

Trevor was easy to schedule with and provided a quote promptly. When I made changes to the selection of skylight, he was able to update the quote promptly. The work was done on a day of my selection. I am very happy with the end result. The skylight looks great! <br />

The company was recommended to me by my next door neighbor. After some initial difficulty finding the correct telephone number, the company was professional and responsive. They worked with me to locate the skylight properly in the ceiling and to determine the best size for the bathroom ceiling opening. Wet weather caused a delay in starting but they kept in contact to make sure the revised dates were acceptable to me. The workers arrived on schedule. They completed the work in a timely manner. The result is completely satisfactory.

Great job! Showed up on time for estimate, was prompt with contract and references. Scheduled job within a week. Started and finished the job when they said they would. Kept me informed and when I had concerns they addressed them quickly. They worked extra hard to make the interior of the skylight wells compliment the exisiting woodwork. Trevor also gave a longer warrentee on his work than the other companies. We are very pleased.

In the very beginning, our experience was great. Trevor was responsive, had a great price, and they scheduled us pretty quickly. They came out the first day and started removing our old attic fan , but were unable to complete the job due to rain. A day later during a windy rain storm, the cap to our existing attic fan blew off (they had removed the screws from the cap and just set the cap back on the top). I called them the next day asking them to come put it back on since they had not given us a timeframe when they would be back again and basically said "We'll be in touch." Well after about a week, they came back out and started the installation. They got the Attic Fan installed, and the Sun Tunnel, but not the roof vent for the bathroom fan. Another week went by and they came back out to install the Roof vent. However, it was installed improperly. When the guys arrived that morning they arrived with two parts to the roof vent, the actual metal vent that was supposed to be on the roof, and the piece that was supposed to be underneath it that had a fitting to connect the ducting to and it also had a flapper in it that only opened when there was air flow coming out. Well, they only installed the metal roof vent portion, so it is completely unusable because they did not install it properly... We have emailed, and called them numerous times trying to get them to come back but it's been 10 months now...So I don't think they'll ever come back to fix it. We also experienced an issue with the sun tunnel starting to come away from the ceiling. My husband fixed that himself because even though we made Trevor aware of the issue, we haven't seen any effort from them to come out and finish up the job. We made the mistake of paying them in full before we checked the installation of the Roof Vent. At this time, I would not be able to recommend using them.

Vendor came on time. Put down protective materials on floor before setting up scaffolding. Worked quickly, within the estimated time. Team was good-natured and professional. Cleaned up well after they were finished and helped to put back furniture and rugs. The drywall finisher came two days later. He was very professional. He worked carefully, cleaned up after himself. Did some extra work to patch other holes in the drywall from previous vendor's electrical work. He was pleasant and professional. The job was outstanding.
